BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 24/01/2011

It's a very special day at Bridge Farm and David gets the answers he's looking for.

It's Clarrie's first day back at work and she's surprised to learn that Vicky's working too. Clarrie tells Nic that Vicky has got her feet well under the table, and worries that Pat's going to keep her on permanently. 
Nic tries to help Clarrie cook the evening meal but Clarrie insists that the whole point of the meal is to pay Nic back for all her help. She's delighted that Nic's joined the WI.
Elizabeth also starts back to work today. She and David go through the diary but it's a struggle. Just the sight of Nigel's handwriting upsets Elizabeth but she's determined to carry on to ensure everything lives up to Nigel's standards. David tries to reassure her that he's got everything in hand, including getting the schools to postpone the twins' entrance exams for five weeks.
Helen bring Henry home to Bridge Farm. Clarrie's there to greet them but Pat's surprised Vicky didn't wait. Helen and Henry settle in. Now that Henry's home and well, Helen thinks Pat should consider a holiday in February to celebrate Tony's 60th birthday. Tony's delighted to have Henry under his roof. He hopes the first night is a good one.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
